Abstract :
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a rare mesenchymal malignant tumor that primarily affects children, with adult cases being exceptionally uncommon. Embryonal RMS of the nasal cavity is an even rarer occurrence. We present a case of a 37-year-old male with progressive nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, anosmia, and swelling near the medial canthus of the eye.
Imaging revealed an aggressive mass in the left nasal cavity with bony destruction. Histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses confirmed the diagnosis of embryonal RMS. Due to its aggressive nature, RMS requires prompt diagnosis and a multidisciplinary treatment approach, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This case underscores the importance of considering RMS in adult sinonasal tumors for timely intervention and improved prognosis.
